What Nexo does

Nexo is a digital assets wealth platform founded in 2018 and headquartered in Switzerland, operating across 199+ jurisdictions with $7+ billion in assets under management and $430+ billion in processed transactions. The platform serves retail investors, high-net-worth individuals and family offices, corporate treasuries, and institutional clients through an integrated suite of crypto-native financial products. Its core offerings include Flexible Savings and Fixed-term Savings products (up to 15-16% APY on stablecoins), an Exchange for 100+ digital assets, a Credit Line (from 1.9% APR), Zero-interest Credit (0% APR on BTC/ETH collateral), Futures perpetuals, and the Nexo Card (up to 2% crypto cashback). Business services include Corporate Accounts, Prime Brokerage, White Label solutions, a $150M Nexo Ventures fund, and a Payment Gateway.

The platform is built on multi-custodian infrastructure using Ledger Vault and Fireblocks, with SOC 2 Type 2 certification and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 accredited information security management. Nexo maintains a conservative risk profile with a 0.87 LTV-relative-to-liquidation-buffer score, operating at 55-70% lower leverage exposure than DeFi peers Compound (2.33) and Aave (3.00). A tiered loyalty program based on NEXO token holdings drives engagement, and the company has invested heavily in flagship sports sponsorships (Australian Open, DP World Tour, Audi F1, Argentine National Football Team) and regulatory infrastructure (New York BitLicense access via Bakkt, OCC-chartered Summit National Bank stake, ECB digital euro standards selection).
